EX-Nihilo is how God created everything created

Today at Bible study we went thru Hebrews 11 and I noticed another verse teaching EX-Nihilo :)


Hebrews 11
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

When we’re resurrected, we’ll have bodies again. Immortal ones this time. We’re told it will happen instantaneously, in the twinkling of an eye. To create that many bodies out of nothing in an instant has to be by the power of His word.

Once again, you have shown how the Book of Mormon agrees with the Bible in some areas, but disagrees with other Mormon "scriptures."
 
Interesting that no Mormon has responded to this...when Prophet has just quoted the Bible and the BoM...not from any ol' nasty "anti-Mormon" website. :rolleyes:
 
Who is Jesus Christ of the LDS? President Gordon B. Hinckley clarified, "[Many] have said we are not Christians. ‘Mormons are not Christians,’ they say; they do not believe in the traditional Christ. No, I don’t. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak" (Church News, January, 1999; also June 20, p.7). A different Christ!



LDS Apostle Bruce McConkie taught that Christians have "a mythical Christ" (Mormon Doctrine, p.269). That means we must decide which faith has the real Christ because somebody clearly has a mythical Christ. Do these faiths have the same Jesus? No, if you read the LDS Ensign. It says Christian Churches worship a different Jesus (May 1977, p.26).

I have said that many times... how many of you would ever believe that Jesus is the Christ begotten by the Father and is the literal Son of God in the flesh.. not one of you no doubt... yes we believe in the Godhead and not the Triune God that Evangelicals try to teach ....

Very good, and there is truth to all those verses. He spoke to all existing matter and it was organized as He decreed. Just as any creator today, they produce their art, products, etc by combining different objects, materials, etc. etc.

Wrong: Luke 1:34-35: "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."

I don't see the word conceived ( become pregnant) by the Holy Ghost either in the Bible or Book of Mormon... please entertain us with your interpretation of the following: and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:

:):) What does the Book of Mormon teach ? :):)​

Alma 7:10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

Mosiah 15:3

Book of Mormon

3 The Father, because he was conceived by the power of God; and the Son, because of the flesh; thus becoming the Father and Son—

Note that McConkie emphasized the literal nature of Christ's divinity, his direct descent from the Father, and the fact that the Holy Ghost was a tool, but not the source of Jesus' divine Parenthood.

:) :) Most Mormon reject Bruce R McConkie :) :) ​

Committee of two apostles (Mark E Petersen and Marion G Romney) reports that McConkie’s Mormon Doctrine contains 1,067 doctrinal errors. For example, page 493 said: “Those who falsely and erroneously suppose that God is progressing in knowledge and gaining new truths cannot exercise sufficient faith in him to gain salvation until they divest themselves of their false beliefs.” However, McConkie is affirming doctrine of omniscience officially condemned by previous First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1865.”

Where does The Book of Mormon teach The Holy Ghost was a tool ?? Or the Bible

Contrary to rumor. President David O. McKay did NOT find over a thousand errors in Mormon Doctrine. Copies published by Deseret Book carried this Publisher's Note:

"Mormon Doctrine has for decades been a classic work on certain beliefs and practices unique to the Latter-day Saints. A reflection of the times and culture in which it was written, this monumental work has added to the understanding of countless members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

McConkie was a doctrinal giant. Mormon Doctrine was a prodigious work. Yet by simply omitting key elements of the story, Prince and Wright created a false picture of "The Controversy over Mormon Doctrine."


Conclusion. Bruce R. McConkie's influence is greatly underestimated by those who ignore his reputation among those with whom he served as a Church leader. According to President Ezra Taft Benson, the First Presidency and Twelve frequently turned to Elder McConkie on matters of doctrine.[25]

His part in the preparation of the 1979 LDS Bible and 1981 edition of the triple combination was monumental. He was one of three (along with Thomas S. Monson and Boyd K. Packer) assigned by the First Presidency to oversee the project. He personally wrote all of the newly revised chapter and section headings and his imprint is on many entries in the LDS Bible Dictionary.

The scripture project, said President Boyd K. Packer 努as one great crowning achievement in Brother McConkie's ministry.... If ever there was a man who was raised up unto a very purpose, if ever a man was prepared against a certain day of need, it was Bruce R. McConkie." According to President Packer, the project "could not have been done without Elder Bruce R. McConkie."[26]

President Packer served closely with Elder McConkie during that project and believes "few will ever know the extent of the service he rendered. Few can appraise the lifetime of preparation for this quiet crowning contribution to the onrolling of the restored gospel in the dispensation of the fulness of times."[27]
